Using oscilloscope:
(1) Install combination meter.
(2) Connect connector to TCM.
(3) Lift-up the vehicle and place safety stand.
WARNING:
On AWD models, make sure that all wheels are raised
off floor.
(4) Set oscilloscope to vehicle speed sensor 2.

(5) Push the TCS OFF switch to ON. (With TCS mod-
els)
(6) Start the engine, and drive the wheels slowly.
(7) Measure signal voltage indicated on oscilloscope.
Specified voltage: AC 2 V, or more
NOTE:
The speed difference between front and rear wheels may
light either the ABS or the ABS/TCS warning light, but this
indicates no malfunctions. When AT control diagnosis is
finished, perform the ABS or the ABS/TCS memory clear-
ance procedure of self-diagnosis system.

4. CHECK INPUT SIGNAL FOR TCM.
1) Connect connector to vehicle speed sensor 2.
2) Lift-up the vehicle or set the vehicle on free roller.
CAUTION:
On AWD models, raise all wheels off floor.
3) Push the TCS OFF switch to ON. (With TCS models)
4) Start the engine, and drive the wheels slowly.
5) Measure voltage between TCM and body.
Connector & terminal / Specified voltage:
(B56) No. 11—Body / Less than 1↔
more than 9 V
NOTE:
The speed difference between front and rear wheels may
light either the ABS or the ABS/TCS warning light, but this
indicates no malfunctions. When AT control diagnosis is
finished, perform the ABS or the ABS/TCS memory clear-
ance procedure of self-diagnosis system.

6. INSPECTOR
Before advancing the vehicle after the engine starts, drive
the pump motor and valve for a very short time to function-
ally check the ABS/TCS brakes. It is not abnormal if, at this
time, operating noises of the valve and motor are produced
or kickback of the brake pedal is felt when stepping on the
pedal.
7. WHEN ATTACHING CHAINS
It is sometimes a good idea to turn off the TCS for better
advancing and accelerating the vehicle.
8. WHEN A DRUM TESTER IS USED (SPEEDOMETER
TEST, EXHAUST GAS TEST, BRAKE TEST, ETC.)
Before performing tests, turn the TCS off by operating the
TCS OFF switch or disconnect the fuse of ECM input
power source to put the machine out of operation. If oper-
ating other parts to put the TCS in the fail state
intentionally, trouble code will be recorded. Make sure to
clear the memory. Also, in a 2-wheel tester, wheel speed
sensor failure can be detected, making the TCS fail. This
case is also not abnormal and clearing the memory is
required.
